I had been searching for either a clean M coupe, e46 M3, or e36 M3 (in that order) for a while. A couple of weeks ago I decided to pull the trigger on this car which I must say I love driving, and this may sound a little impulsive and crazy, but the M coupe that I had been eyeing just became available and I would like to pursue it if possible.

In short, I'm simply looking to pass this car on to the next owner for what I have in it so that I can get the car, therefore this is somewhat time-sensitive. If it does not sell before the M coupe sells, then I'll simply keep it and continue to enjoy it

The car: black on grey napa leather, 6 speed, and no sunroof option (which is highly sought after). It's been maintained well, and I have records from prior owners indicating proper maintenance as well as having had BMW's recalls and inspections 1 and 2. The car is in good shape for being 11 years old, however, it does have some common cosmetic flaws which I was planning on addressing: bottom front bumper is chipping and will most likely need a respray down the road, the wheels have slightly noticeable curb rash on the very edge (spokes look good), the rear bumper appears to have been rubbed by another car's bumper in a very small area, which will probably buff out, and the back corner of the weather strip on the rear windows has chipped away, but only the cosmetic section - there is no water leak as a result of it given that the rubber seal between the rear window and the car is intact. Again, I'd like to get what I have in the car, $15000, which is very reasonable compared to what these cars are going for. It has 94000 miles and drives great! Clean and clear title/carfax/autocheck.

I created a quick craigslist ad to see if I am able to sell it on time. Below is the link to the ad with pictures.

Thanks for looking and do not hesitate to contact me with any questions you may have. Let's see if I can pull this off!

I have owned a 135i and a 1M as well. The e46 is much more balanced than the 135i, but the 1M is right there with it. In terms of straight line performance the 135i is slightly faster than the e46 M3, and obviously the 1M would be abusive in this comparison.

Overall I think the e46 M3 offers the most confidence and balance due to the way it delivers its power, but that's just my opinion. Love all 3 cars.

My Father just got a MINT 98 Z3 M Roadster with 45k original. I haven't seen it yet (He's in California, I'm in NYC) but he "Settled" for it after not being able to find a clean M Coupe...he raves about it...

Thank you sir! Yes the M Coupe is my favorite BMW of all times and I finally have one. Mine has more mileage than your dad's M roadster, but it was very well taken care of, and I purchased it from the same guy who purchased my 1M...he and I see eye to eye when it comes to cars and their care.
